It was exciting to drive on the new Western Belfast Bypass for the first time as our community celebrates the opening to traffic of this $122 million project. I have walked alongside our community from start to finish on this exciting project – from the sod-turning with Simon Bridges in 2015 to checking on progress with John Key in 2016 to attending the open day with my family last month. Residents joined me at the open day to walk or cycle over the bypass before it opened to traffic and it was great to see how the bypass fits in with the other motorway projects as an integrated traffic solution and provides better walking and cycling connections.
